We were shocked and saddened to hear of Karen's passing. When we lived in Michigan we enjoyed lots of good times together with Karen and Bob...dinners, bridge, pool parties and Red Stocking programs. Karen was such an asset to the Rochester community. She will be missed by many friends. Our love and prayers will be with Kymber and family.
Love, Bill and Judy Wagner
